"Let it go
Let it go ..."

Oh, wait: wrong movie

And therein lies the greatest hurdle (and problem) facing this movie: how to match that Oscar winning 2013 earworm tune from the original?

The answer, quite simply, is that this can't.

That's not for a lack of trying, however, with Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf (who provides the bulk of the comic relief) off on a journey to the mystical forest in the north, and uncovering the truth behind Elsa's powers and their family (and kingdom's) history.

The animation, as ever, is top notch, with a more Autumnal colour palette this time around reflecting the more sombre tone of the film.

The movie is a lot to unpack. It is a love letter to international film. Madame Simone Signoret's films are screened and discussed throughout. The films serve as a guide to the various relationships within the film. No. 7 Cherry Lane deals with the 1967 student uprising and the aftereffects of the Chinese Civil War as Mrs. Lu is a Taiwanese refugee in Hong Kong. The animation is static, either the cels were shot at 48 fps or cels took up multiple frames to give a slow motion effect to all the action. The film is also comparable to Soul since both deal with life and falling leaves.

"Don’t shoot! I know this picture is corny and sexist but nobody loves the whole “She-warrior in an iron bikini riding a snow leopard over her smited bloody fallen foes” more than me. You need to understand what a true cheese dealer I am. Heavy Metal is nothing if not living, breathing boogie van art. And what’s wrong with that? John Candy as Den of Earth?! Oh Canada! It came out when I was very young and I watched it a million times. It made me look at animation a whole other way and it had Black Sabbath in it! Dio AND Black Sabbath! So Rad!"
